Prosecutors say a federal judge in Alaska who resigned after a scathing investigation found he had engaged in inappropriate conduct with staff and attorneys did not disclose conflicts of interest in 23 criminal cases before him.
FILE - The James M. Fitzgerald U.S. Courthouse and Federal Building in downtown Anchorage, Alaska , is pictured on Wednesday, July 10, 2024. Prosecutors said former U.S. District Court Judge Joshua Kindred of Alaska , who resigned after a scathing investigation found he had engaged in inappropriate conduct with staff and attorneys, did not disclose conflicts of interest in 23 criminal cases before him.
Kindred, 46, had an inappropriate sexual relationship with one of his clerks, who later became an assistant U.S. Attorney in Alaska, the report found. He received nude photos from a different assistant U.S. Attorney and exchanged suggestive texts from a private attorney, both of whom who had cases before Kindred, investigators said.
The Code of Conduct for U.S. Judges requires them to recuse themselves from a case if their impartiality could be reasonably questioned. Her office, which provides legal representation to indigent defendants charged with federal crimes in Alaska, will seek more information regarding the “timing, nature, and extent of these various conflicts of interest that could have impacted the outcomes in our clients’ cases,” she said.
